The answer is letter b. adaptation. Adaptation occurs when living organisms adapt to their surroundings or environment over a long period of time. In this case, Dark Furred Squirrels were abundant, since squirrels adapted to the dark shady area they have lived and adapted into a dark furred one, which allowed it to be more common due to adaptation.
QUESTION:Which of the following can typically decrease genetic variation?
toxins
predator-prey relationships
competition
new habitat
disasters
increased food supply
ANSWER:
1. toxins
2.predator- prey relationships
3.competition
4.new habitats
5. disasters
Answer:
The correct answer is explained below:
Explanation:
- According to the question, heterozygous tall, heterozygous axillary plant has the following genotype, TtAa.
- It produces the following gametes: TA, Ta, tA, ta.
- The heterozygous tall, terminal plant has the following genotype: Ttaa
- It produces the following gametes: Ta, ta.
- Crossing them,
TA Ta tA ta
Ta TTAa TTaa TtAa Ttaa
(Tall, Axillary) (Tall, Terminal) (Tall, Axillary) (Tall, Terminal)
ta TtAa Ttaa ttAa ttaa
(Tall, Axillary) (Tall, Terminal) (Short, Axillary) (Short, Terminal)
- The genotypes of the offspring obtained are: TTAa, TTaa, TtAa, Ttaa, ttAa and ttaa respectively.
- The phenotypes obtained are:
- Tall, Axillary = 3.
- Tall, Terminal = 3.
- Short, Axillary = 1.
- Short, Terminal = 1.
